Headers on the move as harvest kicks off â– HARVEST is in full swing for the Taylor family at South Hummocks, who began reaping last week.

Their barque barley was yielding 2.5 tonne per hectare (15 bags), but had high screenings, selling as feed barley.

The crop was windrowed the previous weekend, and Kevin (left) and Andrew (right) have had two headers tackling the ďŹ rst paddock of the 4000 hectares they have cropped this year,

while Richard transported the grain.

The Taylors this year grew 2000 hectares of barley, 1500 hectares of wheat and 500 hectares of peas.

ABB Grain Northern Area business manager Bill Vandepeer said its Bowmans site was the only one yet receiving grain in the area, with the ďŹ rst delivery last Tuesday, October 14.

Grain is also being received at Crystal Brook and Port Pirie.

Last Friday, Mr Vandepeer said

while only a few hundred tonnes of barley had so far been received, it had high screenings, leading to the decision to open an F3 segregation at Bowmans and an F4 segregation at Bute.

While just a few have begun reaping, silos across the district are gearing up for harvest, and backpackers will again help ďŹ ll employment vacancies, an initiative which Mr Vandepeer said had proven very successful last harvest.

‘Pots of cheer’ soothe those passing years

A

s the sands of time seem to be running ever more quickly through life’s hour glass, one’s thoughts occasionally turn to aged care.

This has been heightened by my recent personal experiences concerning my mother, who now resides in an aged care facility south of Adelaide.

Those readers who have been down this path will understand it is a difficult time for all concerned.

My only experience before this point was sharing a “convivial” with some of the residents of Kapara nursing home at Glenelg.

Often the more active residents would drop in to the front bar of the adjacent pub.

This friendly spot became known as “God’s Waiting Room” because of the age of those who gathered there. Strange, when a fair selection of the customers were young chappies from Sacred Heart College, also not far away.

But we all got along fine, having a jolly (old) time, with the younger brigade helping to stimulate the thoughts and offer warm friendship

MY VIEW

Terry Williams

EDITOR to the old boys whose wisdom and advice often was sought ... mostly to find a winner at Morphettville.

They enjoyed the biplay, escaping from the home until they eventually departed. For some, permanently.

As a young(er) bloke, I never really considered what they were going through. But now I realise how their life had changed and what remained before them.

Over the past few weeks, elderly citizens, pensions and more have been to the forefront of Federal government spending and, naturally, the media.

Elsewhere in The Plains Producer

we are reporting on the aged care facilities within this region and the challenges they face.

There is no doubt our local operators are doing their utmost to care for our elderly citizens, but there’s no denying we need to be doing more and finding more funding and accommodation, particularly over the next decade as the Baby Boomers start filtering into the aged system.

During my research into finding a place for mum, it became quite apparent there was a large disparity in the services and care available through various providers, even though all need to meet strict government guidelines.

And there are so many ... but whether they have space available is quite another thing. Or there might be availability – but your loved one does not meet the immediate criteria.

It made me realise it really is best if the elderly can stay at home for as long as possible. Families should use the services available to them through the various State and Federal government agencies to make

life at home as comfortable and as extended as they can. Incidentally, it’s Carers’ Week right now, as we speak.

With this in mind, here’s a couple of great ideas I came across from the ACH Group, a not-for-profit private aged care provider.

I reckon we could start doing this in towns like Balaklava, Riverton, Mallala, Port Wakefield, Two Wells and any others with schools.

It works like this: The ACH “Pots of Cheer” program, which began a little over a year ago, has flourished with more than 100 flowering garden pots delivered to older people.

Students from McLaren Vale Primary School grow the “pots of cheer” to help brighten the days of older South Australians – and learn valuable life skills in the process.

The program plays an important role in helping older residents remain connected with their local communities. Older people who live by themselves or have trouble with mobility can often become isolated from the outside world.

The pots are delivered by the kids

Joe rewarded for his service to Two Wells • From Page 1 Joe immigrated to Australia from Italy on October 19,1958, making the move to Two Wells with his wife Jasmine five years later.

At this time, it was still a small country town, but growth was putting pressure on the water supply.

One of Joe’s first major contributions to the community was to lobby then premier Don Dunstan, eventually securing an improved water source.

And as the town grew, so too did the need for

a kindergarten to cater for the needs of local families, so Joe quickly became involved in renovating an old school building to help establish the kindy.

As his children moved into primary school, he took a place on the parent club, later becoming vice president of the parent club at Gawler High School.

As Joe and Jasmine’s two youngest children moved through school, the Thomas More College was established at Salisbury.

Joe was part of its

establishment from the planning stages, turning the first sod in its construction.

“He’s got the ability to find bargains when you’re trying to get things cheaper and knock prices down,” said Jasmine.

And given the number of community projects Joe has been behind, this ability has come in handy often.

Joe and Jasmine are committed Catholics, and for many years regularly travelled to the Virginia church as there was no Catholic church in Two Wells.

The heritage listed building had fallen into disrepair, and given he had skills in building, Joe dedicated numerous weekends to the repair of the roof and ceiling, which had begun to fall in.

Then when the decision was made to build a church at Two Wells, Joe took charge.

“It was the only Catholic church at the time built debt free,” said Jasmine.

“Everything was paid

and the recipient takes over care, with the kids no doubt returning to see how things are growing.

In another program, The Yards and Gardens project is a partnership between Norwood-Morialta High School, UnitingCare Wesley Adelaide and ACH Group. The Foundation for Older Australians provided seed funding.

The program brought together the high school students and older people living at an ACH Group housing site to design and install water wise gardens.

I believe Balaklava High School has been involved in something similar.

For 10 weeks, the 12 students worked hard designing, planning, researching and then installing the gardens in conjunction with the residents.

Throughout the project residents and students communicated with letters and meetings and organised a project completion celebration complete with sausage sizzle and certificate presentation.

What great ideas. Let’s get started!

They are Cosi Costa, of Evanston Park, a self employed supplier of equipment to the mining and quarry industry; barrister Michael Manetta, of Kensington and service station manager Terry Stuart, of Blakeview.

The trio will seek endorsement at an electoral college to be held on November 19.

A swing of 2.4 per cent is required for the Liberal party to regain the electorate of Light, held by Labor MP, Tony Piccolo.

The Light electorate stretches from the northern suburbs of Smithfield Plains and Munno Para, through to Hamley Bridge in the north and takes in the communities of Gawler, part of Angle Vale, Roseworthy, Wasleys and Templers.

Fire ban starts soon starting dates of the 2008/09 fire season have been announced, with no change locally.

Fire bans in the Mid North and Yorke Peninsula regions will begin on November 15, and continue through to April 30. Five of the state’s 15 fire ban districts will be brought forward by one to two weeks.

Country Fire Service chief executive officer, Euan Ferguson, said the state had experienced three consecutive years of sustained drought, increasing the potential for bushfires in some regions because of low sub-soil moisture levels.

“There was also close to average rainfall in July and August that’s resulted in a flush of grass growth and therefore this year, as well as having dry scrub fields, there’ll be a lot of grass around.”

Council comes out to ‘play’ in Tarlee IT was a big day for Tarlee on Monday afternoon when the town’s new playground was officially opened.

That’s Clare and Gilbert Valleys mayor, Allan Aughey, performing the opening ceremony watched by council staff and councillors and local residents.

And in the evening council held its monthly meeting at Tarlee Institute, when Tarlee farmer Wayne Molineux (INSET) was sworn in.

Councillor Molineux convincingly won the supplementary election to replace Liz Burns, who had resigned.

He received 1832 votes (or nearly 67 per cent) of eligible votes.

Councillor Molineux said he was surprised by the number of votes he received, although he acknowledged his extensive community involvement had raised his profile.

A high number of votes were received for the by election, with 2,742 envelopes returned – or 35.5 per cent of electors.

Of the other candidates, Oliver Osborne received 631 votes and Peter Doroch 273.

Local aged funding push As industry lobbies Federal government, Balaklava targets November approvals Aged care providers are calling on the Federal government to provide more assistance as part of its recent $10.4 billion national stimulus package.

And state and national aged care groups have warned some operators could close unless “dramatic action” was taken.

However, locally Graeme Ackland, chief executive officer of Balaklava’s Mill Court, said the financial situation at both Balaklava and the Gilbert Valley senior citizens homes at Riverton was sound.

But Mr Ackland said more facilities in the area could be utilised as Mill Court had a waiting list of 15 to 20 people.

“In fact, we have a number of people with urgent need and it is really quite frustrating we are unable to offer them a bed,” he said.

Mr Ackland said Mill Court would be submitting a proposal for another 15 bed licences to the next aged care funding round, to be offered in November.

“Our submission will be to develop the land adjacent to the Terminus hotel,” (announced in

The Plains Producer in February). Applying through the funding rounds is the only way to secure bed licences and funding but receiving an allocation is not a “given.”

The last funding round saw 6,525 beds allocated nationwide, with just 375 going to South Australia.

In Mallala, chief executive Maxine Varcoe said demands for services at Mallala Community Hospital had continued to justify the value of the facility to the community and the importance of this business remaining in Mallala.

“In spite of the varied options for accommodation it is disappointing we can not always provide care immediately and need to have people living away from the community while they wait for a room,” she said.

“Small rural facilities offer a very special type of service and one would hope any funding to increase viability within the industry recognises the importance of facilities such as ours.”

Are you one of 16,828?

Large numbers of Wakefield residents will benefit from the Federal government’s $10.4 billion strategy to strengthen the economy and support Australian households, says Federal Wakefield MP, Nick Champion.

Mr Champion said 16,828 local families would receive a one-off payment of $1000 for each eligible child in their care, to be paid from December 8.

Three quarters of all families with dependent children are eligible for assistance. Pensioners will receive a payment of $1,400 to singles and $2,100 for couples. This includes carers, disability support and aged pensioners, and veterans.

In addition, Carer Allowance recipi-

Information sessions for the 2008-09 aged care approvals round start next month, with more than 10,000 new aged care places available, including 7,600 residential aged care places.

According to the Federal Minister for Ageing, Justine Elliott, within 20 years, a third of Australians will be older than 55 and within 50 years, the proportion of the population aged more than 65 will have tripled as the “baby boomers” move into the aged care system.

Ms Elliott has announced new legislation to reduce unnecessary reassessments to cut red tape for older Australians.

The Federal government also announced a range of measures to further protect aged care residents. These included a tightening of accommodation bond regulations.

Meanwhile, a recently-released aged care survey (by the national head of Aged Care Services, Grant Thornton) has confirmed the aged care sector’s worst fears – many aged care operators are incurring unsustainable operating losses.

ents will receive $1,000 for each eligible person being cared for.

Eligible first home buyers will also benefit, with an increase to the First Home Owners Boost, which will entitle first home buyers purchasing an established home to a grant of $14,000 and for those purchasing a newly constructed home a grant of $21,000.

All contracts entered into by June 30, 2009 will be eligible for this new additional assistance.

Mr Champion said the allocations were a big boost for families in the north and country who were trying to balance the family budget in the face of the rising cost of living and the global financial crisis.

lava

And Alan Graham, chief executive officer of Aged and Community Services (ACS) SA and NT said the “real concern was unless dramatic action was taken many more operators would inevitably fail”.

“Elsewhere in Australia, aged care providers are having to close doors and the sector in South Australia is very concerned about developing new facilities and modernising any existing premises until there is greater clarity around the long term funding regime,” he said.

Chief executive officer of Aged Care Association Australia – SA, Paul Carberry, has called on the Federal government to direct some of its $10.4 billion stimulus package towards assisting an essential industry which is facing a crisis.

“After that, the Government should work with the industry to develop a long term policy approach to aged care funding and regulation, to replace the current, outdated system,” he said.

Growing up with Roseworthy Roseworthy Agricultural College is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year.

Its origins date back to the mid 1800s when discussions took place about the establishment of a college to teach agriculture. Parliamentary approval was granted in 1879 and John Daniel Custance became SA’s first Professor of Agriculture in 1882.

The Advertiser carried an advert for a farm of “several hundred acres within easy distance from any railway station between Smithfield and Roseworthy,” resulting in the purchase of ‘Olive Hill Farm’ for six pounds per acre.

The site was ideal for growing cereal crops despite initial reservations about its lack of a permanent water supply. The main college building began to take shape in 1883 and received its first students in February 1885. The Diploma of Agriculture was also established in 1885.

Professor Custance set extremely high educational standards for the college which allowed the college to affiliate with the University of Adelaide in 1905.

Heritage Highlights

by Norma Schopp

AN early photograph of Roseworthy college.

Its speciality subjects of Agriculture, Viticulture and Oenology were included in the University’s Bachelor of Science degree.

Droughts and the Great Depression saw student numbers decline but the college managed to survive and “strengthen its position as an important institution for research and education,” receiving national recognition for its work relating to farm, livestock, dairy, sheep and horse management.

Over the past 125 years thousands of students have passed through its doors, in-

cluding many from farming families in this area.

As an important part of preserving South Australia’s early agricultural history, the Roseworthy Agricultural Museum was established about 20 years ago, on the college campus but operated by the Gawler Machinery Restorers’ Club.

The museum holds regular open days, the next being on the weekend of October 25 and 26 when you are invited to see their large collection of agricultural machinery and memorabilia.

This year’s big drawcard is South Australia’s first known tractor - the century-old Saunderson – which was imported from England for Roseworthy College in 1908 by Professor A J Perkins for trials against horses.

The purchase price was 700 pounds, but the trials were not successful.

For about 40 years (1930s1970s) it sat in the Science Museum at Adelaide Showgrounds, from where it went to Swan Hill, Victoria. The tractor is on loan from Swan Hill Museum for this special centenary celebration and re-enactment.

BRINKWORTH

Town gardens get their bouquets n By Anne Green

Federal member for Grey, Rowan Ramsey MP, and his wife Teresa had a busy morning in Brinkworth last Friday, selecting the four winning gardens in the inaugural ‘Beautiful Brinkworth’ garden competition.

Mr Ramsey added ‘garden judge’ to his portfolio, having already judged pets, show girls and tiny tots, since being elected last November.

The competition was organised by Brinkworth Progress Association and sponsored by Clare Valley businesses Pink’s Mitre 10, Dunstan’s Electrical,

Mid North Irrigation and Morella Cottage Garden Centre.

With evidence of waterwise gardening and town pride considered favourably, a local expert had prepared a shortlist in three categories to guide Mr Ramsey in his decision-making.

Short-listed in various categories were the gardens of Frank and Margaret Burgess, Jabba King, Lorna Pese, Iris Quick, Vonnie Adams, Nick Hart, Agro Sitters, Pam Chamberlain, Grigg’s Garage, RSL, police station and the Caravan Overnight Stay area.

Prize winners were: Business or Community Premises

– Brinkworth Police Station (a happy addition to this month’s centenary celebrations).

Traditional (Cottage) Style Garden – two equal first place winners – Iris Quick, East Terrace and Vonnie Adams, Clare Street.

Landscape Style Garden – Agro Sitters’ Railway terrace frontage.

After an hour-long tour of the town guided by Progress Association chairman, Paul Williams, it was time for coffee and a brief rest at the local deli where Mr Ramsey took the opportunity to introduce himself to locals and discuss any concerns they might have.

Start on Mid North strategy A new framework identifying where future housing, population and industry growth is best located across the Mid North region will be developed.

The region stretches from south of Clare up to the Flinders Ranges, and Mid North residents have been invited to have a say about future development.

Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Paul Holloway, said a draft Mid North Regional Land Use Framework had been released.

It follows a detailed collaborative process between eight local councils and State government.

“The draft framework identifies the roles and functions different parts of the regions

can play, including the various townships, and tackles issues such as the interface between industry, residential areas and valuable environmental assets,” Mr Holloway said.

“The proposed framework also addresses issues affecting the region such as increased tourism, demands for industrial growth, changes in town populations, and the future of primary industries such as mining.

“It also looks at the requirements for commercial areas and housing for workers and families, and where these might best be located within the region.”

The councils covered by the Mid North Regional Land Use Framework are Clare and

Gilbert Valleys; Northern Areas; Port Pirie; Peterborough; Mount Remarkable; Orroroo Carrieton; Flinders Ranges; and Goyder.

The proposed framework contains four broad maps under the headings ‘Environmental and Cultural Assets’, ‘Economic Development’, Population and Settlements’ and ‘Integrated Vision’, as well as 17 detailed objectives under each of those headings.

Key themes are: • Industrial growth.

• Managing growth to protect natural and industry assets south of Burra and Clare; • Strengthening townships; • Expanding active naturebased tourism, building on the

Laura to Quorn corridor and; • Retaining built heritage and links with tourism along the Clare/Burra to Hawker corridors.

Once finalised, the regional framework will be adopted as part of State government’s Planning Strategy for South Australia.

It will also guide the updating of local development plans.

Public consultation runs until December 12.

A copy of the framework can be viewed at www.planning. sa.gov.au/go/mn-framework.

Hard copies are available from each of the local councils, and copies are available on CDROM. Two information sessions will be held during the consultation period.

Academic Scholarships

now available for 2009.

As part of St Columba College’s innovative academic direction, the College Board is offering 15 Academic Scholarships. Five scholarships will be offered in English, Mathematics and Science respectively. The Scholarships can be applied for during October 2008, for senior secondary study at St Columba in 2009.

Current Year 10 students may apply for an Academic Scholarship in one, two or all subject areas, though only one scholarship per student will be awarded.

Each Academic Scholarship, valued at $7000, will cover academic fees for the successful recipients to study at St Columba College in Years 11 and 12.

This is an excellent opportunity for students who wish to pursue a senior schooling pathway at one of South Australia’s most progressive and technically advanced Senior Schools.

The 15 Academic Scholarships will be awarded on the basis of the student’s Scholarship Application, together with the results of an Examination (to be held on Saturday 15 November 2008), in the student’s selected Scholarship subject(s).

Principal, Madeleine Brennan stated, “These scholarships are an exciting new direction for St Columba College. They are open to all Year 10 students in South Australia, and are designed to give families the opportunity to provide their child with one of the best educational experiences in South Australia, without the burden of academic fees. St Columba’s unique Anglican/Catholic ethos allows students to excel in a caring, nurturing environment.”

The closing date for this round of Academic Scholarships is Friday 31 October 2008, with 2009 Academic Scholarships offered on Tuesday 2 December 2008.

Parents and/or students are invited to request an Application Package, by contacting the College Development Manager, Jim Donaghy, on 8254 0655.

Balaklava and districts will farewell two popular church ministers as the year ends. Reporter Lauren Parker discovers their impressions of our towns – and what the future holds ...

Pastor Ernie Kiss:

‘

’T

It’s great to see young people confirm their Christian faith

hey arrived on the same hot summer day in January 2000, and now eight years later, Father Jack Boog and Pastor Ernie Kiss are transferring to other parishes within two weeks of each other.

After eight years guiding the faith of the local Lutheran community, Pastor Ernie Kiss and wife Caroline will leave Balaklava to move to Albury, New South Wales.

Departing mid December, Pastor Kiss will swap the pulpit for the role of chaplaincy coordinator in a Lutheran aged care facility.

Pastor Kiss said he would be providing ministerial support to residents of the aged care facility, but would have the help of volunteer support.

Having served on the board of Mill Court for several years, he is no stranger to aged care facilities, and looks forward to the challenge.

However, Pastor Kiss said he and his family had enjoyed their time in Balaklava, previously serving for six

Faith in their communities

years in the central Eyre Peninsula parish based in Wudinna.

“We never knew what was on the eastern side of Port Wakefield when we travelled through all the time,” he said.

“When we came here and turned off at the Shell service station a whole new world opened up.”

In addition to his duties with the church at Auburn and Balaklava, Pastor Kiss has had many community involvements.

He has been a director of Mill Court, chair of the Rural Financial Counselling Service based in Clare,

and has been committed to Aboriginal ministry, as well as having a strong involvement with the Christian pastoral support program in local schools. “There were times when I wondered how I could get to the end of the week without running out of steam,” Pastor Kiss admitted.

He will be stepping down from these positions in the weeks leading to the couples’ December 14 departure.

But there will be many pleasant memories of their time in Balaklava. The Kiss children, Karl and Renata, both completed high school

in Balaklava, and Pastor Kiss said a particularly memorable time was the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the parish. He has also enjoyed the many confirmations.

“It’s great to see young people confirm their Christian faith and become more actively involved in church life,” Pastor Kiss said.

He said adult baptisms were particularly special.

“To nurture them in their Christian faith is a real privilege,” Pastor Kiss said.

Whether it’s family reunions, anniversaries of other special occa-

sions, for Pastor Kiss, simply being included in his congregation’s personal celebrations is an honour.

And watching his own children as adults is another source of joy for Pastor Kiss. Renata was married earlier this year, and is now living in Melbourne where she studies social work at the Latrobe University, while completing work placement at Broadmeadows Hospital.

Karl has just begun eight months active service in Afghanistan with the Army. “He’s proud to be an Aussie digger and to be serving the country,” Pastor Kiss said.

Father Jack Boog:

F

At h e r J a c k Boog, the local Catholic priest at Balaklava, Mallala, Hamley Bridge and Port Wakefield parishes, is transferring to St Peters Church, where he will work part-time.

The move comes after he celebrated 40 years of priesthood with his congregations at a picnic at Mallala on Sunday.

But while his work may take him to new locations across the state with each new appointment, there are faithful friends who travel with him, including a Major Mitchell cockatoo that Father Jack has owned for the last 24 years, and a menagerie of cockatiels, budgerigars and canaries.

The move to St Peters will be Father Jack’s first experience of city living for many years, having previously been posted at parishes in Millicent, Murray Bridge and Willunga.

Father Jack said he had particularly enjoyed learning about different types of farming and farming life as he has moved from district to district.

His parishioners have been involved in almost every type of farming

’

I have met some great people in every district

imaginable in the state, from grain on the Adelaide Plains to potatoes, onions, glasshouses and dairy farms at Murray Bridge, almonds and grapes at Willunga, and cattle at Millicent.

“I’ve met some great people in every one of those districts,” he said.

During his time in the local parish, Father Jack has been heavily involved in the Ministers’ Association.

And living in Balaklava has also provided Father Boog with plenty of musical entertainment.

An avid fan of music, he has enjoyed watching talent be recognised and developed at the Balak-

“It’s marvellous to see people supporting the talent and encouraging it amongst our young people, and seeing them grow over the years,” Father Boog said.

His passion for life of the feathered kind has led to Father Boog judging budgerigars at several country shows.

Another love of his is travelling to lands of Biblical times, including

three visits to the Holy Lands in Jerusalem, and trips to Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Turkey.

“Those were all Bible places where St Paul visited,” Father Boog said.

“I’ve been very fortunate in being able to do that and having a special interest in what I call the social context of the Bible, to see the actual setting of how people lived at that particular time.”

Father Boog finishes in his current parish on November 30.

BLYTH, CLARE

Janet Zweck reports on another great community event ...

Advice on the menu for our local ‘foodies’

Ernie Dingo has a chat with Jace Andriske and (right) playing the guitar at the bonfire.

Ernie’s Blyth spirit The Blyth community were out in force when more than 200 people gathered at Blyth Oval recently to enjoy a twilight evening of fun and games with TV celebrity Ernie Dingo.

The crowd enjoyed a sausage sizzle and spaghetti bolognaise meal followed by Blyth’s own “bush tucker” – stewed quandongs and the creamy taste of a Golden North icecream.

Blyth Community Network organised the evening with help from Blyth Progress Association on Clare Rotary’s barbecue.

Fun activities in-

cluded totem tennis, putt putt, throwing competitions and the jumping castle organised by Blyth tennis, cricket, golf and netball clubs, and Blyth Lutheran Church.

The old-fashioned favourites of tug a war, egg and spoon, sack and three-legged races were a treat to watch with many different techniques shown.

Ernie Dingo and his son Jarra mingled amongst the crowd, with Ernie showing his expertise in netball goal throwing, sinking many nets during the night.

Ernie was once a State basketballer and showed

he has not lost his touch as he did many tricks with the netball.

As the sun went down, the bonfire provided a warming glow as Ernie brought out his guitar and entertained the crowd around the fire with his yarns and songs.

Ernie wants to see the kids of today experience the “old fashioned treats” he enjoyed as a child. He would like to return to Blyth next year with some of his friends and attend an “Australiana Fair” on Blyth Oval.

Ernie left the Blyth community with a challenge to produce a day to enjoy Australian culture using local talent.

He suggested a billycart workshop, “tof-

fees that stick to the top of your mouth” and to “bring back the drop kick to show our young footballers how football used to be played”.

He said the day would aim to show the youth you don’t need to have electronic wizardry to have a good time.

As the moon began to rise over the Clare Hills thanks were extended to Ernie and Jarra for taking time out to visit Blyth.

The evening was also supported by Clare Valley Christian Outreach, Woolworths, Scott Welke, who had Blyth oval in great condition, and Blyth Football Club for providing facilities.

Special thanks to Tanya and Brett Bertelsmeier for introducing Ernie Dingo to Blyth!

Broadband advice

Residents of Blyth and Clare will have access to free information and advice on the Australian Broadband Guarantee, Satellite Phone Subsidy Scheme, Do Not Call Register and e-security, when government department representatives visit this week.

Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, senator Stephen Conroy, said residents could find out about Australian government initiatives and use the Government’s online Broadband Service Locator, which determines what broadband services are available to any household in Australia. “If they are unable to access a broadband service, they may be eligible for a subsidised service through the Australian Broadband

Guarantee program,� senator Conroy said.

The guarantee provides all Australian households and small businesses with access to a broadband service that reasonably compares to broadband services (in terms of price, speed and data usage) available in metropolitan areas.

Australian Telecommunications Users Group (ATUG) is hosting a reception at Blyth Cinema/Town Hall tomorrow (Thursday) from 6pm to 8pm and a free information session at Clare Valley Public Library on Friday from 11am to 2pm.

Residents unable to attend can find out more information about the Australian Broadband Guarantee at www.dbcde.gov.au/abg or by phoning 1800 883 488.

No other manufacturer has this track record or experience with hybrid vehicles.

Q: How long can I run on just the electric engine?

Toyota’s hybrid cars are powered by both a petrol engine and an electric motor. Depending on the power output required either may power the car and at times they work together.

A Prius can travel for one or two kilometres on battery power alone.

This is because the car has an in-built battery protection system to prevent overcharging and also discharging.

These measures contribute to the long battery life of Prius batteries.

Q: Is the petrol engine always required?

A: Hybrid Camry and Prius can be driven for short distances on electric power only. This is particularly useful in stop-start traffic, for eliminating emissions in your garage and for quiet entry or exit through your neighbourhood.

Q: Is a Hybrid engine really clean?

Prius is the cleanest production family car in the world, emitting just 106g/km of carbon dioxide. It has an official combined cycle fuel consumption of 4.4 litres/100km*.

Prius was the first car to achieve 5 stars on the Green Vehicle guide published by the Australian Greenhouse office.

Carbon emissions are only one measure of a car’s tail pipe emissions. To be truly clean you need a balance of

low CO2 plus low air toxic emissions. These are typically the gas and particle emissions we all see as smog.

You can find out more on air toxic emissions and their effect on air quality and health by visiting www.greenvehicleguide.gov.au or other websites including www. arb.ca.gov.

Q: Is the petrol engine on continuously?

A: No it isn’t. That is the advantage of Toyota’s hybrid system. When the petrol engine is not needed for power or to recharge the battery, the petrol engine automatically switches off.

For example when the car is stationary (such as at traffic lights) or when coasting or travelling down hill.

Oops! Did you leave a note?

New research from SGIC shows most South Australians would leave a note if we damaged a parked car – but the insurer’s claims data tells a different story.

According to the research more than 79 per cent of the survey respondents said they would leave a note if they hit another parked car.

However, SGIC State manager, Lee Jameson, said of the 1,284 car parking prang claims in the last 12 months, 17 per cent were for damage while parked and for more than half of these claims the atfault driver could not be identified.

“The research shows us that while we have the very best of intentions when it comes to owning up to this sort of thing, when people find themselves in the real-life situation they’re opting not to leave a note,” Ms Jameson said.

“According to our claims data half of our customers who have returned to their car to find it damaged have been left with no note to identify the culprit.”

And for those on the Adelaide Plains who visit Gawler, be aware this is one of the worst places in South Australia for minor prangs.

Munno Para and Elizabeth are also bad.

Gawler ranked third in SA’s top 10 spots for

PLAY the car park challenge game. Go to www.SGIC.com.au parking prangs, up from its 10th placing last year.

Munno Para, with its huge shopping precinct growing, ranked 10th.

Danger zones SGIC listed the parking danger zones as: 1.

Adelaide, 2. Modbury, 3. Gawler, 4. Elizabeth, 5. Marion, 6. Mount Gambier, 7. Salisbury, 8. Port Lincoln, 9. West Lakes, 10. Munno Para Ms Jameson said more than 18 per cent of collision claims in South Australia are the result of parking and equated to more than 24 claims each week and $1.3 million in repairs.

“People are often surprised to learn that those seemingly insignificant dents, dings and bumps that appear after a trip to the shops cost on average around $1,087 to repair,” she said.

“And, sure enough, the most prolific sources

of parking collision claims were in suburbs or towns with prominent shopping centres where large numbers of cars regularly pull in and out of parking spaces.

“In Adelaide, the CBD and Modbury topped the list for parking prangs, and in South Australia’s regional areas, it was Gawler, Mount Gambier and Port Lincoln that featured in the top 10 areas for parking related damage.”

According to the insurer, typical parking collisions include hitting other vehicles, trolleys, railings, walls and poles, posts or pylons, and many are caused when reversing.

“We’d encourage all drivers to put themselves in the other person’s position and leave a note with their details if they damage someone else’s car,” Ms Jameson said.

• If you’re reversing in a car park, go slow and don’t just rely on mirrors – look over your shoulder too.

• When buying insurance consider a low excess to help ensure you’re covered for small damage claims.

• If you hit another parked car, do the right thing and leave a note with details – nobody wants to come back to their car to find it damaged and no details from the responsible driver.

• If you witness a collision, pass on any information to the innocent party.

7JOUBHF DBST IFMQ UP SBJTF 3FE $SPTT DBTI FOUR vintage car collectors and owners parked their seven cars in front of the Pinery Hall in a spectacular display, at a recent fundraiser hosted by the Pinery Red Cross branch.

A small but enthusiastic audience viewed and enjoyed the wonderful display, including Rob Boehm’s collection of miniature cars and framed photographs of cars owned by Bill Johnson from 1928 to 1933.

Oldest Pinery Red Cross member, Gwen Tiller, travelled in style from Mallala in son-in-law, Robert Arbon’s 1929 DA Dodge Sedan, much to the delight of fellow members.

Guest speaker Bill John-

son gave an extensive history of car manufacturing, since its beginning - all without the assistance of notes.

Robert Arbon and Rob Boehm both spoke of their interest and experiences of restoring cars. About $400 was raised from the event.

Car owners Robert Arbon (1929 DA Dodge sedan), Bill Johnson (1929 Chev Swiss French Roadster Pickup (first of six cylinder engines) and 1928 Chev Four National (last of four cylinder engines), Rob Boehm (1984 Nissan 300 Z, 1969 Austin Healy Sprite, 1954 Austin A40 ute) and John Tiller (1970 GT Ford THIS Dodge sedan owned by Robert Arbon was a star attraction.

If you think Climate Change won’t hurt our economy, think again.

Australia is already a hot and dry continent.

Climate change will mean more severe droughts – reducing our water supplies, threatening agriculture and risking higher food prices.

Scientists warn that climate change will cause more severe bushfires, storms, cyclones and floods. This is already pushing up insurance premiums.

Members signed a card and shared in Evelyn’s birthday cake.

Evelyn was a foundation member of the club and has participated in most of its activities before she moved from her home to the Rose Pym facility in Mallala.

Born in Glebe, NSW on October 27, 1908, Evelyn Muriel Creswick married Roy Miner on November 4, 1944 and moved to Mallala when Roy retired. After Roy passed away in 1982, Evelyn continued to live in her Calaroga Street home.

Fiercely independent, Mrs Miner lived by her-

self and performed most tasks, except mowing the lawn (which she gave up when she was 94) until she made the move to the Rose Pym facility last year, following an illness.

A birthday afternoon tea with family and friends will be held at Butlers View Mallala Hospital on Sunday, October 26 from 2.30pm.

Major tourist attractions like the Great Barrier Reef, Kakadu Wetlands and the Australian Alpine areas are all threatened by rising temperatures – risking thousands of jobs.

Hamley steals the A grade opener Basketball is back. Not only did everyone at the courts dressed in their basketball uniforms tell us that, so did the weather.

It was an ideal night for shooting the hoops. Hardly any wind and warm enough not to need a jumper.

Unfortunately Dribbler had put on a few kilos over winter and unless he works out he will need another top.

I reckon it will be another top the way he puts those donuts away. It was really good to have the donut van back. Thanks Lions says Dribbler.

It was an exciting night for the A grade men and for those who watched it. I can’t believe Hamley Bridge was able to steal the game away from Bulldogs. I don’t think they can either.

It looked like Bulldogs thought they would win it and took it easy, not worrying if they missed a few shots. Those low percentage shots that were thrown up and didn’t go in mattered in the last quarter and with the persistence of wharf rats the Hamley boys were able to grab a win.

And the other game, a rematch of last year’s grand final between Owen and Young Guns was equally exciting with the Young Guns showing they will again be finals contenders.

When Lachlan Parker returns they will be hard to beat.

Todd Miles was missing from the Owen team but Dribbler tells me he

'SJEBZ /JHIU -JHIUT ADELAIDE PLAINS BASKETBALL REPORT

By Three Points

won’t be playing this season. I’m a bit disappointed because he is such a talented player and so good to watch. Dribbler is only right most of the time so lets hope he is wrong about Todd.

Did anyone notice Deb Robertson? Dribbler reckons she was at every game. I am not sure what she was up to but she seemed to be writing down people’s names.

Maybe she is planning to start up another club. Another club would certainly help.

It was really good to have the Hawks playing again. Young Sam Noack hasn’t lost his touch and if it wasn’t for Leigh Wright they probably would have won.

Dribbler noticed another team whose players he didn’t recognise.

Not surprisingly it was a girls’ team all wearing white tops.

We found out they are the Cats and come from around Blyth. They seemed to be enjoying their game.

Dribbler couldn’t believe how dominating and how well Sharon Moulds played for the Eagles.

They are not a new team but one of the Bulldogs teams with a new name. Cats are also one of the new

named Bulldog teams. The Junior teams showed some players hadn’t lost their touch and that some others will need to practise.

The game between the Magic and the Celtics was a high standard for under 16 at this time of the season Luke Williams and Tom Lloyd played as if they hadn’t had a break.

Michael Clifford, another under 16 playing for the Lakers, also looked like he too had been practising during the off season. There were a number of others but Dribbler can’t remember their names.

He’ll be out next week making sure he gets the names. See you then.

district Cricket Dublin v hamley br

Dublin were all out for 62, to give Hamley an easy win.

Dublin won the toss and elected to bowl.

The Dublin opening bowlers didn’t take long to get a wicket, with one in the first over.

Dublin dropped some vital catches early but they still kept fighting. Hamley started to fall, but Justin Smith and Jake Martin showed the way for the Hamley boys with Justin finishing up with 53 runs retired and Jake on 42 being run out by some good fielding by the Dublin boys/girls.

Hamley finished up on seven for 162, with some nice help from 31 extras. Dublin had a fair chase on their hands.

Dublin started off with a bang, with a four from the first ball. Hamley was sending them down hard and fast from both ends.

Hamley got a few early wickets but they also dropped some vital catches. Dublin went well early on, but with such a young side, they didn’t have enough older players to show the way.

Hamley is very happy with their new coach David Ireland who is well liked by the whole team.

Both sides fielded well all day and best of luck to both teams for the rest of the season.

At Clare the order of the day seemed to be the seven hoops with four players making seven.

Euan went ahead and made 12 with Ruth making 9. A fairly close game all the match.

At Snowtown it was a different game altogether. Gilbert does dominate the play, being a state player so it makes it very hard to keep him down. Lynne and Chris fought hard in the first half holding him back, but after the break he went on to make 12 and then setting up for his partner.

The girls found it very hard to roquet from one side of the court to the other.

Two Wells

Results from October 18.

Competition: Stroke – Eclectic – Medal of Medals.

Sponsor: Two Wells Tavern.

Players: 20 + 2 ladies.

CCR: 64 Conditions: Fine.

With the last main competition for the year, 23 players enjoyed the warm conditions expecting to snatch the final major Eclectic Trophy for the year. Several players within a bulls roar of improving their Eclectic round.

On any given day one could be excused for thinking that a nett 60 would win the day however the dry conditions and some extraordinary talent resulted in a day full of surprises.

Dave Perry thinking he was over the finish line felt guttered when Ian Smith came in with nett 57 then to add insult Chris Girling arrived also with 57 which included a 69 off the stick and included 4 birdies and 1 eagle not to mention a 7 on the twelfth.

Trevor Datson and Rick Wendland’s nett 64 had them both thinking that they were in with a chance then along came Gary Payne with nett 57 and that took care of B Grade for the day.

C Grade was won by Darren Tull with nett 65 who also took out the Medal of Medals. Brian Prior who’s chuckles were heard all over the course close behind with 66 and smoking Clive making up the bronze placing.

Each week there is always a story that should be told. This week Trevor Datson did the presentation following Russell going home with a sore back.

The presentation was interesting with all having a chuckle with some of the stories.

Buck asked Trevor to check the result for third as Buck and Dave Perry both had a nett 60. When Daddo checked he couldn’t find the card and Buck said it was where he always put it. Sure enough there it was in the shoot waiting to be found.

The result didn’t change and there were more laughs at Trevors expense.

Malcolm Frost appeared to be somewhat exhausted from the sun and had to be corrected mid presentation with an incorrect comment.

John Ball has now taken the honour for the highest number of shots(18) in a stroke round on the 5th with John playing of 18 he used his entire handicap on that hole let alone the remaining 13 holes.

Buck chipped out to win the eagles nest, Chris Girling eagled the 3rd, Gary Payne eagled the 17th and 13 players won birdie balls. Their was a total of 31 birdies on all cards for the day with Brior prior’s card having every score circled with no birdies scored.

I am not sure what he was attempting but he seemed to be happy in the club house. Buck also eagled the 9th.

Vince Hatch was successful in winning the Eclectic Trophy despite Chris Girling’s charge.

Tennis Balaklava Night

Firstly, a big welcome to our new players this season, with numbers making up two more teams than last season, with eight Division ones and five Division twos competing.

Also captains, in regards to score sheets, please start your matches at the bottom i.e. 1 and 4 play first. Sorry – I used old scoresheets - thank you!

An eerie full moon was wasted as resident moon watcher Gary ‘Gus’ Wilson had the week off for this season’s first night tennis match.

Gary’s aptly named Division one Vampires were faced against Marie Heaslip’s Ghosts in what was tipped to be a thriller.

The Ghost-who-walks, Geoff Gardner, was welcomed back after two years away, and with his new lasered eyes, was ready for action. However in a first set rally, had a net shot all lined up and attempted a smash only to have the ball stuck in the racquet V neck. The players on court and the spectators went into hysterics acknowledging that, indeed, Geoff was back! His team-mates Julia Hoskin, Tanya Greenshields and Marie were kept on their toes as Geoff ended up on his back on the court twice requiring some TLC from his girls.

The Vampires, minus Gus, battled valiantly with Don Veitch and Cherie Taylor winning an excellent 5-3 over the power house girls in Tanya and Marie.

Don and fill-in Tanashi Nyoni were unlucky to lose a marathon tiebreaker, with Tanashi gaining valuable experience after not having played much tennis for some time.

Winter star Kerry Williams made her summer debut and had to deal with the cunning old girl Julia all night, eventually working out her spin shots. A tie and four 5-3s were played in this very tight contest.

Final score Ghosts 5-29 to Vamps 1-20.

Helen Barry’s Centaurs faced Paul McBride’s Ogres with some big upsets in this match. Paul rigged his scoresheet only to come undone as they crashed 5-31 to 1-17.

However Paul and Joy Ryan won a good 5-3 over the agile newie Ray Bennett and the not-as-agile-crook-knee Di Meaney! However Di and Helen won a great set over the hard-hitting Joyful and super fill-in Melissa Moulds.

The Centaur men Scott McDonald and Ray chased down every shot to defeat the competitive Paul and Marty Brice.

Paul threw Marty in at number 1 against young Scott, who decided to test Marty’s weary legs after traipsing all over Europe, so made him run around all night which paid off! However three 5-3s were played indicating close sets.

Chris Curnow’s Zombies were determined not to play like their name and had a great battle against Cherie Cmrlec’s Warlocks, with the latter winning 5-30 to 1-20.

Zombies men Chris and David Lester won a hard-hitting tiebreaker against Bert Cocks and the promoted Chris Allen.

Bert and Chris went on to have another tiebreaker with partners Helen Durdin and Terissa Smart respectively. This time Bert and Helen won the tie.

Cherie didn’t want to spoil her winning record so made sure Bert was focussed in their set together, and ended winning a close 5-3 over Chris and fill-in Angela Battle.

The final score doesn’t indicate again how close this match was, with two tiebreakers and three 5-3s. Terissa and Angela didn’t quite click together but that may have been good practice for their Saturday tennis!

The final Division one match saw a cast of thousands of fill-ins, with Tania Allen’s Unicorns taking on the absent Tammy Barr’s Giants.

A couple of giant killer fill-ins were playing for the Giants rather than against, which helped them scrape through for a win by a measly six games, 3-28 to 3-22.

Adam Pratt and Stacey Wilson were filling-in giving their opponent Andrew Lane and Leonie Selleck a work out they weren’t initially prepared for!

Leonie and fill-in Louise Michael

managed to hang on to win a first set tiebreaker over Stacey and the loose Darren Scholz, while Andrew and Tania went down in a marathon 5-3 to Adam and newie Kathryn Taylor.

Andrew and Leonie’s set together against the young guns Adam and Stacey was a slogfest with the young ones taking the honours.

After completing some cross-country activities, Dazza, Louise and partners Kathryn and Tania commenced their second set, ending in another tie of course! Dazza was feeling a bit under the weather, or maybe he was just a bit overwhelmed on his 15th wedding anniversary, so he had to have a short break. He resumed only to come second in the tie! Or maybe it was because he’d been hit a few times?

Mind you, Tania copped a hard one on her leg requiring some attention when she got home!

Unicorns Andrew cranked up the serving pace in his last set with Louise, and even though Adam returned them with as much force, it wasn’t quite enough as the Unicorns eventually won 5-3. An entertaining match with great rallies and a few bruises!

The Division two match between Fran Henderson’s Elves and Suzy McDonald’s Wizards saw the latter show their magic winning 5-33 to 1-16.

Well done to cricketer Imran Gul and Kevyna Gardner on winning a marathon tiebreaker over Charmaine Brown and Peter Rohrlach.

Imran apparently played a very nice backhanded cricket stroke, and did well for his first hit. Elves Chris Brownlie met his match against Super Suzy with some good rallies played.

Suzy and sister Charmaine were caught reminiscing about the old days in their set together, but managed to keep it together to have a win.

Fran was unlucky to be opposed to the very handy Jan Noll all night, but they had some long rallies.

After being a Rabbit last season, Wizards Peter Rohrlach pulled some shots out of the hat in his battle against Kevyna, winning 2 of 3 sets. And even though it was a perfect night, Chris was cold, so a reminder to bring a jumper next week Chris!

Roanne Georg’s Goblins went rampaging over Lauren Parker’s poor little Fairies, winning 6-39 to 0-9.

Goblin Pete Georg faced (soon to be permanent) fill-in Sheralyn Bond and had a good hit with the cobwebs dusted off.

However Cherie Cleary’s score went down by one game each set until the last one with Lauren, with the Fairies having to reveal their briefs to Roanne and David Northcott. But we won’t mention that one!

Sheralyn and newie Dionne Bennett played very well but were unlucky to lose a long 5-3 to the happy couple Pete and Roanne, who recently celebrated their second anniversary of wedded bliss! New player Caitlyn McKay also played very well for the Goblin’s and kept the ball in the white lines! Well done to all players.

It must be noted how dedicated Lee Williams was last week, as, even though she had a bye, was determined to find a fill-in after being injured on Wednesday night in a workout with Terry!

As she couldn’t walk and was in agony, thoughts of tennis came flooding in, and after a text message, found she had a week off anyway! Sounds like you’re going to need more than a week though, Lee! Good luck and hope to see you back soon.

Until next week when we welcome Diane Gregor’s team and Gus for their first hits…

The Plains Producer, Wednesday October 22, 2008

Hamley Bridge takes the honours against Riverton The feature Division One clash between Hamley Bridge and Riverton last weekend was a close affair with Hamley Bridge getting over the line by eight shots with two rinks up.

Comfortable victories were recorded by Mallala, Port Wakefield and Balaklava in the remaining matches leaving only three sides undefeated after two rounds.

After this weekend’s round in Division One, there should only be two undefeated sides left as Balaklava hosts Hamley Bridge in one of the matches.

These two sides have had epic battles in recent seasons with the home side usually making use of the home green advantage to take the points.

This trend should continue on this occasion with Balaklava favoured to retain their unbeaten run.

Owen’s match against Mallala is of equal importance as should Mallala win, as well as Port Wakefield and Riverton, the gap between Owen and the leading sides will widen significantly and it is only the start of the season.

As mentioned above, Port Wakefield and Riverton are favoured to win their respective matches.

Division One – 18 October 2008: Hamley Bridge 67(10) (A. O’Brien 21, D. Rex 23, B. Smith 23) def. Riverton 59(2) (N. Rogers 22, M. Griffiths 18, B. Mullins 19); Mallala 81(12) (I. Stuart 25, P. Furst 33, K. Roberts 23) def.

Wasleys 51(0) (W. Grady 24, L. Ryan 11, F. Steggles 16); Port Wakefield 77(12) (A. Fontaine 24, G. McPharlin 29, R. McQuire 24) def. Owen 55(0) (T. Harkness 17, K. Warnes 21, N. Harkness 17); Balaklava 70(10) (T. Clifford 30, P. Thompson 18, B. Taylor 22) def. Tarlee 50(2) (I. Rohde 11, D. Branson 21, M. Ransom 18).

Standings: Balaklava 22 +50, Hamley Bridge 22 +49, Port Wakefield 22 +25, Riverton 14 +39, Mallala 14 +27, Tarlee 2 -67, Owen 0 -52, Wasleys 0 -71.

Division One – 25 October 2008: Mallala vs Owen, Port Wakefield vs Tarlee, Riverton vs Wasleys, Balaklava vs Hamley Bridge Division 2 Asimilar situation to Division One is noted in Division Two with only three sides remaining undefeated after two rounds.

Mallala White upset the more fancied Hamley Red by one shot while elsewhere Owen had a narrow win over Riverton White and Port Wakefield Gold took the points over Balaklava Red despite having only one rink up.

Season opens for past presidents

Games manager Alan Helps – Mallala; president Doug Maylin – Two Wells, with the winning team, Terry Dixon of Mintaro, Trevor Secomb of Gawler, Lorraine Dixon of Mintaro, and Vern Atyeo of Gawler.

The match this weekend that will attract most attention is leaders Balaklava White’s clash against Port Wakefield Gold. A close tussle is likely in this encounter.

A number of other Division Two matches could possibly result in upset wins by less fancied sides creating added interest in the rounds to be played over coming weeks.

Division Two – 18 October 2008: Port Wakefield Gold 79(8) (A. Williams 20, R. McGregor 21, A. Carslake 38) def. Balaklava Red 67(4) (C. Cowan 26, B. Hogben 25, K. Cottle 16); Riverton Black 69(10) (A. Lee 18, B. Prime 33, R. Schulz 18) def. Tarlee 61(2) (J. Tayler 27, D. Heathfield 17, D. Rohde 17); Owen 67(10) (L. Beaty 29, P. Sullivan 24, W. Hocking 14) def.

.1 TMBNT ´NFBOJOHMFTT¾ DPVODJM QSPDFTTFT MEMBER for Light, Tony Piccolo, has backed calls by the State acting Ombudsman to make local government decision making more accountable and transparent.

Speaking in State Parliament last week, Mr Piccolo, a former mayor of Gawler Council, said some councils were using loopholes in the existing laws to avoid proper and effective consultation with their communities.

Mr Piccolo described the current consultation process as meaningless

“because of the minimal time period allowed and the poor quality of information made available to the local residents�.

Mr Piccolo said some councils acted badly because residents generally had very limited rights of review.

He told Parliament he was con-

cerned about the transparency and accountability of some decision-making by local government given the very limited rights of review by aggrieved persons. “They often lack any independent oversight,� Mr Piccolo said. “Many local councils lack the capacity to provide meaningful and effective review procedures or processes to deal with these grievances.�

Mr Piccolo said some also did not have enough understanding of basic

administrative law principles. “Their actions are often governed by a range of extraneous matters and many do not follow basic natural justice principals – a view supported by the acting Ombudsman.�

Mr Piccolo said the problems arise in some instances because of lack of training, and in others, due to poor examples provided by council leadership.

In recent evidence to the Parliament’s Economic and Finance

Committee, the Acting Ombudsman, Ken McPherson, highlighted the difďŹ culties his ofďŹ ce had encountered in resolving complaints lodged by ratepayers and residents because of the intransigence of local government ofďŹ cials – including some council chief executive ofďŹ cers.

Mr Piccolo said he had received numerous complaints about the processes followed by council ofďŹ cers in the administration of the Development Act.

High School Musical 3: Senior Year Ticket sales for High School Musical 3: Senior Year are already breaking records. The pop culture phenomenon comes to a close in the new theatrical release, and the Wildcats will put on their biggest performance yet.

High School Musical 3: Senior Year ďŹ nds high school seniors Troy and Gabriella facing the prospect of separation as they head off to different colleges. Joined by the rest of the Wildcats, they stage an elaborate spring musical reecting their experiences, hopes and fears about the future.

With incredible new music and exciting dance numbers designed to take maximum advantage of the big screen, this motion picture extravaganza delivers plenty of high-energy entertainment from East High’s talented ensemble.

Fun Facts High School Musical 3: Senior year is the ďŹ rst in the series to be released in theatres. The ďŹ rst two High School Musical movies aired on the Disney Channel in 2006 and 2007, and both movies were instant hits.

SAFF warning on grain levy The South Australian Farmers Federation has warned grain traders not to omit paying levies during the sale process.

Legislation in South Australia provides for the collection of levies to support the activities of the SAFF Grains Council and grains research and development in SA. Tom Saint, SAFF Grains Council treasurer, said: “This legislation requires a purchaser of grain, in the initial sale of the grain by the grower, to deduct 25 cents per tonne from the amount payable under the contract of sale.

“It appears not all grain traders are aware of their legal obligations to collect this amount,” Mr Saint said.

Notices were published in the South Australian Government Gazette on August 28 prescribing the following amounts to be deducted from the proceeds of sales of all grain grown in the 2008/2009 season: • five cents per tonne for the SAFF Grains Council and • 20 cents per tonne for the SouthAustralian Grains Industry Trust Fund (SAGIT).

Olsen fellowship to Kimba farmer

“While growers may notify the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries if they do not consent to paying, fortunately most grain growers realise the importance of these levies,” Mr Saint said.

“When grain growers sell any grain, they should remind buyers they are required to remit deductions to the Minister ofAgriculture, Food and Fisheries no later than 21 days after payment is made to the grower.

Otherwise the Minister could use the courts to recover any amount not paid.

Kimba farmer, Brook Seal, 24, has won the 2008 Agricultural Bureau of SA Peter Olsen Fellowship or Young Farmers.

He was recognised for a trial of sheep covers on his family’s 5,000 acre property.

Mr Seal, who manages his family’s farm said winning the award was a privilege that would allow him to pursue his interests in sheep and wool production.

“I plan to use the bursary to investigate the benefits of the sheep covers,” he said. “I’ll use them to cover my main flock of sheep after shearing and see if they help boost the quality of wool.

The Peter Olsen Fellowship is open to young farmers aged between 18 and 35 who have been farming for at least the past 12 months.

The $7,000 grant pays for courses, study tours or projects to enhance the skills of young farmers.

High yields in two new triticales Two new triticale varieties released recently in New South Wales are offering growers some high-yielding opportunities over established types.

The new varieties – Bogong and Canobolas – named after eponymous mountains, are set to prove that when talking triticale, Everest isn’t the ultimate.

ABB Seeds has exclusive commercial rights to the new varieties.

ABB Seeds’ general manager, Garry Goucher, said both varieties

had very good resistance to field strains of rust and each had particular attributes for specific growing conditions.

“Bogong has very high yield potential and is a widely adapted spring triticale that performs best in medium to high rainfall, or late maturing environments in South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria,” Mr Goucher said.

“It produces large plump golden brown grain, much larger than Everest and it’s an ideal replacement for varie-

rior aluminium/acid soil tolerance compared to all current triticale varieties and is ideally suited to the NSW slopes and tablelands, north-east Victoria and areas with acid soil symptoms “Again, Canobolas produces large plump, golden brown grain, much larger than Everest with low screenings and

ties such as Tahara, Kosciuszko and older types.

“Canobolas is an early to mid-season maturing, awned grain triticale which matures one to two days faster than Everest and Treat and is equivalent to a mid-season wheat variety.

Canobolas has supe-

Canobolas is resistant to all common field strains of rust including the latest WA pathotype of stripe rust and is seen as an ideal replacement for all existing triticale varieties including Everest, Kosciuszko, Speedee and Tahara.”
